When the “de” Kochs and other evil oligarchs dare to claim that threats to “freedom” justifies their assault on American democracy, the only freedom they’re concerned with is their own freedom to screw over the rest of the country.
And yes, it’s the Kochs’–you got it–Freedom Partners that is pushing like a demon for the repeal of the ACA.
to watch the idealistic young doctors and medical students speaking tonight on behalf of the ACA, and then to think of the travesty of Tom Price, and the AMA, and the profit-worshiping fanatics who want to condemn millions of their fellow Americans to unnecessary disease, suffering and death.
Today’s GOP reveals itself as not only a depraved organization, but a shockingly lazy and slovenly one. It has neither a clue nor an intention of replacing ACA with anything at all, and all it can do, following the lead of the con man soon-to-be-in-chief, is lie about it.
Now, is this press conference that Trump is supposedly giving on Wednesday the long-delayed press conference that was supposed to happen last week, when he was going to tell us what a little flea in his ear had buzzed about hacking, a flea, that is, that only he could communicate with??
into the depths of Donald J. Trump’s heart–and finds that it contradicts every single hate-ridden bit of rhetoric spewed by that insignificant orifice better known as his foul, lying mouth.
In fact, in DJT’s heart, he really loves humanity as much as Hitler loved his dogs!
Mitch McConnell has flung a lot of sludge at the public, but the slime clinging to this bunch will require special dry cleaning once the confirmation hearings are over.*

It isn’t very pretty, although compared to the United States that Trump and his fellow Fascists are planning, Obama’s eight years will probably seem like the time of milk and honey.
But Obama did make some pretty speeches.
William Rivers Pitt at Truthout gives the outgoing President his due, but is crystal clear about what he did and didn’t do. . .
“In a nation willing to spend trillions of dollars on wars and weapons that don’t work, President Obama time and again bought into the nonsense ‘austerity’ arguments proffered by the wreckers on the Republican right. Instead of shredding those decades-doomed trickle-down tropes for being the brazen lies they are, he accepted the premise and made Social Security and Medicare actually seem negotiable instead of sacrosanct. Now, like the rest of us, he’ll get to watch a Republican Congress destroy 75 years of progress because he failed to explain that we’re not actually broke, we just have skewed fiscal priorities. Not acting is a decision.”
The fossilized thought patterns of Scott Pruitt and the rest of climate-change-denier dinosaurs must be ridiculed as what they are: hopelessly delusional, counter-factual gibberish not worthy of a kindergarten playground.
The “de” Koch brothers and other evil oligarchs funding Pruitt and his accomplices must be continually exposed as enemies not only of American democracy but of humanity’s continued existence.
We’re talking old, addled, completely out-of-touch anachronisms.
But why is the DNC not doing anything to combat the GOP’s crosscheck voting roll purges?
Do they realize how much GOP voter suppression is costing Democrats at election time?
New York City has lost its soul due to the decision of vastly wealthy mayors to turn our city into Monte Carlo on the Hudson.
The last thing we need is another plutocrat making it more of a haven for the one percent and telling the rest of us to go fry an artisan-crafted egg!
They should not be attending the sham inauguration of non-elected dictator Donald J. Trump. Nor should any of the Democratic alum. Once again, the Democrats misjudge the perils of maintaining an illusion of orderly process when the entire equilibrium of democracy has already been shattered.
